That being said I’d like you to point out just where anyone mentioned the season was over after 11 games? And the AIG thing, well hat’s just low blow.

The right wing (Neville) is most easily exploited as the defender is very…. useless.

If you say the year is over, you can go ahead and wear your favourite jersey.(The one with the word “AIG” on it, you know you want it!)

If Wenger says we win Silverware, you just have to believe him. There isn’t much in reality you can do besides watching.

Prediction: 1-0 Fab

I must have a little rant though about Bendtner. Talk about a player in over their head. I really dislike him. And contrary to what someone posted above I think most of our young talent would be highly coveted by many world class clubs and will be with a few years under their belts. Bendtner is not included in that group. Wrong pass, wrong play, horrid touch, trying to do what he can’t- every time. He is this year’s Senderos for me (I would cringe to see that man on the pitch). With Ade hurt, I think I might have to skip the next few games for health reasons myself if I have to watch the poofy haired Bendtner ruin yet another move upfield with some jackass errant pass to an empty patch of grass, or the other team. /rant

Defense and midfield, still holding us back. Denilson is not the kind of midfielder we are asking him to be. And much too inexperienced to be holding for Fabregas, who deserves more freedom than this, come on Wenger! Djourou actually looked good out there, but Fenerbahce, don’t impress me upfront. Gallas is so love hate. Toure needs to take sedatives before a game I think. Song, okay he is a bench talent. Silvestre is ManU cast off and they might be running circles around us soon :\

The youth thing is nice but it also bites us in the ass when one or two starters take a knock and then our next option in a big EPL match is like 17 and never started a game in their life. I just don’t get the sense behind this if the goal is to win every year rather than in the ‘future’. The point isn’t so much what Wenger can do to fix this in a couple months, it’s what did he expect out of this group? When I think most people called
that we took some heavy loses this summer on top of things we were obviously lacking last year (well specifically Flamini and maybe Gilberto) and needed to react more positively with replacements. Looks like a mistake and might cost us yet another year. Oh well. Go Gunners!

If he doesn’t get some steel in january, a proper tall defender, a strong midfielder who can get stuck in and win balls, then we win nothing and Fab is likely to leave next summer. Can’t say I would blame him. He asked for quality, and Wenger told him Song, Diaby and Eboue were quality. Wrong answer.

He keeps repeating the same phrases, keeps defending the youth policy, but as I see it, it’s not the age that’s what’s wrong, it’s the lack of quality. 5-6 of those players playing week in week out are pure bench material. They will never be anything more than that for a top club.

Fabianski does seem like a good goalkeeper, but is it wrong to want a world class one? Almunia is not the standard a club chasing the championship should have #1.

I remember how it was before Wenger, I am eternally greatful for his work at the club, he transformed us. Heck, I even think the stadium should be named after him when emirates lose the naming rights, he’s earned it.

But if United beat us convincingly next weekend , somebody has to start saying something to him at the club. Maybe he’s become a bit diluted after having only yes men around him for years? He still has the skill to turn this into a winning team, but he has to take out his wallet and pay for quality in january. With the current economical conditions, this should be a buyers market.
